If you’re 6-foot-3 or taller, you are probably used to ducking to get into vehicles and crouching while driving, but you shouldn’t have to. There are a number of roomy cars, trucks and SUVs out there. You just have to know what you’re looking for.
What makes a best used car for tall drivers?
What makes a car or SUV good for tall people is the amount of legroom and headroom it offers.
Headroom is measured from the seat to the roof of the car. Legroom is the distance from the pedal to the back of the seat with the seat fully extended away from the steering wheel. Try limiting your search to vehicles with 40 inches or more of headroom and 45 inches or more of legroom.
